Dave Mason Gives New Meaning To That Old Cliché 'Doing My Own Thing'
Tony Stewart, NME, 22 January 1972
DAVE MASON arrived at Heathrow Airport last Wednesday about a quarter of an hour earlier than planned, and even if the TWA chick hadn't tipped me off, there was no mistaking those familiar features. Admittedly he'd grown quite a healthy beard since we last met in May but he carried a black guitar case.
